I must admit; I spent more time last night watching the score of the game between the Reds and the Pirates than I did watching the score of this game. Things looked pretty good in that game for a while before the Reds finally lost it in extra innings.
Perhaps they're not as big of fans of fruit as I thought. But that champagne offer was out there on the table, though.

Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Jake Arrieta (.265). How's this for a crazy run; his last six podium appearances have been at the top of the Hero podium, as have 10 of his last 11. And that 11th appearance was on the second step.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.191). Compared to everyone else on the podium, his day seemed rather mundane with a sky-high homer and three driven in.
- Sidekick - Tommy La Stella (.166). Almost had two doubles, but only needed one to take the final spot on Friday.
THE THREE GOATS: Once again there's a bump on the Goat podium as Arrieta's -.090 hitting is moved out. That makes 40 bumps from the Goats this season and 44 bumps overall.
- Billy Goat - Kyle Schwarber (-.097). Even a crazy play where Jean Segura makes a diving stop on a hard-hit grounder and then hits Dexter Fowler with the ball wasn't enough to offset his 3-6-3 double play.
- Goat - Miguel Montero (-.049). Came close to a couple of hits on hard-hit balls, but one was right at Khris Davis and the other was thwarted by a great play by Scooter Gennett.
- Kid - Chris Coghlan (-.002). Similar to Chris Denorfia a few games ago, he's just standing over by his locker trying to get changed after the game's over, looking a bit dumbfounded at the call to take the final podium spot. And somewhere Kris Bryant is just giggling at his luck on the dropped fly ball in the fifth that kept him from being here instead.
